Toy Story 3, Sangria, The gang's all here

1. We treated ourselves to a matinee at The Grandin. Toy Story 3 is an excellent, must- see movie. I cried. Go play with your toys, people!2. A pitcher of sparkling, white sangria with peaches.3. The kids all arrived tonight for a weekend visit. We sat on the porch until late, showered Claire with birthday gifts, sipped drinks and caught up on the news.

"The world is fairly studded and strewn with pennies cast broadside from a generous hand. But who gets excited by a mere penny?...It is dire poverty indeed when a man is so malnourished and fatigued that he won't stoop to pick up a penny. But if you cultivate a healthy poverty and simplicity, so that finding a penny will literally make your day, then, since the world is in fact planted with pennies, you have with your poverty bought a lifetime of days. It is that simple. what you see is what you get."
